Toxic effect of venom of bees, intentional self-harm, subs

This code signifies a harmful reaction to bee venom that was deliberately self-inflicted, and the patient is presenting for follow-up care after the initial treatment. The toxic effect could range from localized reactions to systemic anaphylaxis, resulting from the intentional exposure.

Apply this code when documenting subsequent care for a patient who intentionally exposed themselves to bee venom, such as for a suicide attempt or self-harm behavior. This includes scenarios like wound care, monitoring for delayed reactions, or managing ongoing symptoms related to the initial toxic exposure.

• Requires an external cause code (X71.-) to fully describe the intent and circumstances.
• Do not use for accidental bee stings or assault; those require different intent characters.
• Ensure documentation clearly supports "subsequent encounter" for ongoing treatment or recovery phase.
